Eric Purcell, Semperis SVP of Global Partner Sales and Alliances is Named a 2026 CRN Channel Chief
HOBOKEN, N.J., Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Semperis, the identity-driven cyber resilience and crisis management company, today announced that it has been named to the CRN® 2026 Security 100 list, a prestigious ranking of security vendors committed to working with channel partners to help organizations defend against cyber threats. In addition, Eric Purcell, Semperis’ Senior Vice President of Global Partner Sales and Alliances, has been named a 2026 CRN Channel Chief, recognizing his leadership and commitment to partner success.
Semperis received recognition for prioritizing identity in its cyber resilience strategy and for its entirely channel-focused sales approach. This method allows partners to provide unique and effective security solutions for clients managing intricate hybrid and multi-cloud identity systems.
This recognition comes on the heels of Semperis’ acquisition of MightyID, a best-of-breed identity resilience provider for Okta and Ping. The acquisition significantly expands Semperis’ platform to deliver comprehensive identity resilience. The move creates new opportunities for partners to support customers with diverse identity architectures while accelerating deployment, recovery readiness, and time-to-value.
“This recognition reflects the strength of our partner ecosystem and the outcomes our partners deliver every day,” said Purcell. “Semperis was built on a partner-first model and we are focused on helping partners build a profitable identity security and crisis management practice. With the addition of MightyID, we’re extending those opportunities across the full identity landscape, giving partners even greater ability to drive value, resilience, and long-term customer trust.”
The CRN 2026 Security 100 recognition is the latest in a series of industry honors for Semperis, reflecting the company’s rapid growth, innovation, and workplace culture. Semperis was recently named one of Dun’s 100 Best HighTech Companies, recognized by Inc. Magazine as one of its Best Workplaces for four consecutive years and was named to Deloitte’s Technology’s Fast 500 for the sixth consecutive year.
